Hair typing (without images)
I'm not really a fan of Andre Walker's hair typing system and I believe it is unhelpful. Leaves me feeling more confused and I think it is too restrictive. Some days my hair looks 4a, on others 4c, the back of my hair looks 4a some times and 3b/3c so where would I belong? Some people have "straight" African hair and are no where on the chart and some have clumpy hair that acts like mini dreadlocks (such as me) and not covered by the chart too.
I think black hair has its own sub-genre of hair, that is straight, curly, wavy and coily (our version of ringlets, no?). I am going to try to do a post and show what I mean through pictures and hopefully, the type 4, type 6 type whatever hair typing system will go one day and we'd be able to embrace the beauty of each others curls, coils, strings and waves :o)
